The U.S. Coast Guard does not endorse cellular telephones as substitutes for marine
radios. They generally cannot communicate with rescue vessels and, if you make a
distress call on a cellular telephone, only the party you call will be able to hear you.
Additionally, cellular telephones may have limited coverage over water and can be
hard to locate. If you do not know where you are, the Coast Guard will have difficulty
finding you if you are using a cellular telephone.
However, cellular telephones can have a place on board where cellular coverage

NOAA Emergency Weather Alert
Notice
Caution
Warning
In the event of a major storm or other weather condition requiring vessels at sea
or on other bodies of water to be notified, NOAA broadcasts a 1050 Hz tone that
receivers such as your CobraMarine VHF radio can detect and warn you of a weather
alert condition. When the Weather Alert mode on your radio is On, this signal will
produce a loud tone from the speaker in the radio and will automatically switch to
the alerting weather channel so the alert broadcast can be heard.
NOAA Test Alert System
To test this system, NOAA broadcasts the 1050 Hz signal every Wednesday sometime
between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. in each local time zone. Any receiver that can detect the
weather alert tone may use this service to verify that this system is functioning properly.
These signals will be received in Marine or Weather Standby modes as described
below.

Initial Calling on Channel 16 or 9
The use of Channel 16 is permitted for making initial contact (hailing) another
vessel. The limits on calling must be followed. Be reminded, Channel 16’s most
important function is for Emergency Messages. If for some reason, Channel 16
is congested, the use of Channel 9, especially in U.S. waters, may be used as the
initial contact (hailing) channel for non-emergency communication.
Limits on Calling
You must not call the same station for more than 30 seconds at a time.
If you do not get a reply, wait at least two (2) minutes before calling again.
After three (3) calling periods, wait at least 15 minutes before calling again.
Change Channels
After contacting another station on a calling channel, change immediately
to a channel which is available for the type of message you want to send.

Identify, in English, your station by your FCC call sign, vessel name or the state
registration number, at both the beginning and at the end of the message.

procedures only after your situation has become grave or you are faced with a sudden
danger threatening life or property and requiring immediate help. Use Channel 16 to
communicate your emergency message. Make sure you transmit on high power. If
you are merely out of gas, do not send an emergency message. Drop your anchor
and call a friend or marina to bring the fuel you need or to give you a tow.
Marine Emergency Signals
The three (3) spoken international emergency signals are:
MAYDAY
The distress signal MAYDAY is used to indicate that a station is threatened by grave
and imminent danger and requests immediate assistance.
PAN PAN
The urgency signal PAN PAN is used when the safety of the vessel or person is in
jeopardy. (This signal is properly pronounced pahn pahn.)
SECURITE
The safety signal SECURITE is used for messages about the safety of navigation or
important weather warnings. (This signal is properly pronounced see-cure-ee-tay.)
When using an international emergency signal, the appropriate signal is to be
spoken three (3) times prior to the message.

5. Say:
“MAYDAY (or “PAN PAN” or “SECURITE”)
[your vessel name or call sign].
6. Tell where you are:
(what navigational aids or landmarks are nearby).

8. State the kind of assistance needed.
9. Give number of persons aboard and conditions of any injured.
10. Estimate present seaworthiness of your vessel.
